The Olympic Games Impact (OGI) project is now required of all Host Cities by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The project has three main objectives: to measure the overall impact of the Games; to assist bidding cities and future organizing committees to maximize the benefits of the Games; and to create a comparable benchmark across all future Games. OGI is an indicator-based monitoring and reporting system that is grounded in the concept of sustainability. OGI uses 126 indicators to measure the economic, social, and environmental conditions of the Host City/Region/Country. There are 80 context indicators, and 46 event indicators. Each Games organizing committee is to present its findings in a series of four reports (baseline, pre-Games, Games-time, and post-Games) that spans 12 years, beginning two years before Host selection and ending three years after the Games. A report on the impact of the  2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games on the economy of British Colombia has recently been published. The final post-Games report, planned for 2013, will look at the long-term impact of the Games.
